Objectives:
To identify which organisations and institutions, groups and influential individuals are found inside the kushet/gott that directly or indirectly address some of the problems to be tackled by a specific microproject
To identify their potentials for supporting a specific microproject.
Key Questions:
Which organisations and local institutions, groups and influential individuals do in particular address the problems and causes of the problems which were identified in the PAPP MATRIX for this micro project idea?
Which additional institutions are active inside the kushet/gott which could be helpful in turning this idea into a successful microproject?
Which institutions do the participants regard as most important in potentially helping the microproject interest group?
What support could these institutions provide to the microproject?
Are some of the participants members of any of the organizations and groups that have been mentioned?
How to facilitate the process?
1. After the presentation of the results of the quick feasibility check, participants are asked to form up to 8 microproject interest groups. Each group will be facilitated by one facilitator and one community member (if possible) should take over the role of note taker. It would be helpful if groups are facilitated by those with some knowledge of the microproject concerned.
2. Make sure that you have all the material needed. The participants can either draw and write with a stick on a soft ground or use a BIG sheet of paper, pencil and markers. If you decide to use paper, people should first use a pencil to be able to still change the size of the circles that the participants will draw.
3. Explain to the participants the objective (see above) of producing a Venn Diagram to identify institutions with potential to support a specific microproject.
4. Explain to the participants that the note-taker will write down carefully what people discuss. Remember that it is not important to create beautiful pictures, but to understand the different points of view of participants. Why, for example, do different participants regard certain institutions, organizations, groups and influential individuals more important or less important for supporting a specific micro-project?
5. Ask the participants which institutions, organisations, groups and influential individuals found in the village (or kushet/gott) could be helpful in some way for the success of the microproject.
6. Ask one of the participants to write all the organisations and institutions that are mentioned on a blank sheet of paper.
7. Ask the group to discuss for each organisation or institution how important it could become for supporting their microproject. The most important ones are then drawn as a big circle and the less important ones as smaller circles. Ask the participants to compare the sizes of the circles and to let them adjust them so that the sizes of the circles represent the importance of the institution, organisation, group, or influential individual in terms of their potential for supporting the microproject.
8. Ask the participants to choose a symbol for every organisation or institution so that everybody will understand which institution is being talked about during the discussions. Mark the circles with the chosen name or symbol.
9. The facilitator guides the discussion to directly or indirectly get answers to all of the key questions listed above.
10. Ask them to discuss in which PRACTICAL way support may be given for the preparation and implementation of microprojects by all the different organisations and institutions mentioned.
11. Ask them if any of the organisations and groups identified only accept women or men as members or only provide services for either men or women.
Material needed: Documentation sheet for the Venn Diagram and white paper for copying the diagram. Other materials required depend on the drawing medium, e.g.: soft ground, sticks and local material for symbols are needed for drawing on the ground or a BIG sheet of paper, pencils and markers are needed for drawing on a paper.
Time: 1.5 - 2 hours
Hints: If people find it difficult to understand this tool, it will be helpful to draw a simple example for them.
